GAME DAY

I STILL feel this way. Workout has been done for almost an HOUR.

Game Day. I was really stoked about this one. In a strange way I thought it would be the perfect mixture of fun/brutality (which I love)..a nice break from the week of Asylum hell workouts. Well, it's not. It's the most HELLISH one. To give you an idea-you start out with a 1 MILE SPRINT. You go up hill. You go down hill. You then sprint to the finish. Only Shaun can figure out a way to simulate an uphill sprint on a flat floor. But he does. You then go through MULTIPLE SPORTS, including *wierd* ones like SPEED SKATING. That was one of the hardest ones for me. Talk about a burn and sucking the air out of the room. I dry heaved, but I managed to keep it down. There was mountain climbing (not on the floor, ON THE PULLUP BAR)-this is where I aquired MULTIPLE bruises on my legs. Craziness Control is the word of the day in this workout. I had none. I took ALOT of breaks. I'm managing to get my agility up to speed-but still-there is nothing that gets easier. EVER. I gave it all I had. There was nothing I had left to give at the end. My body just gave out and I barely made it to the shower. So as I ice my bruises from whacking my legs in the doorway during the mountain climber drills (don't even ask, it's like, a nightmare), I give this workout 5 out of 5 swimmer breast strokes. As far as my performance-I give it NEGATIVEabillion Daikler BBall jumps. It was so hard. My team lost. (Sorry, Team). But I made it. I will work hard this week so I can do better next time, team. Promise. (I have a team in my head that I play with every day, BTW.) Progress, progress, progress. If I'm alive and don't puke-it's progress and a success, dangit.

It's going to be a lazy productive day.-Demi

Verticle Plyo

Or a better title would be "Welcome to Crazy Town."

This is how I felt today during todays workout. Roadkill.
Graceful.

Anywho-Shaun. Me and you might have problems if I ever see you. Or I might just give you a hug. Probably the latter, but I *may* punch you in the kidneys during that hug. WTH. Verticle PLYO??! How about "Verticle HELL." or "Imma look like a moron plyo." UUUUGGGH. God I pray this gets easier. I swear, regular power jumps and tuck jumps look like childs play to me right now. Imagine doing all that-but with BANDS wrapped around your wrists and ankles. While trying to be agile on a ladder. Then doing ACTIVE REST-but not really. Active rest to Shaun means speedroping on ONE leg, and then switching, and then doing speedrope but landing in a SQUAT, then speedroping with high knees at double time. F. Granted, it was a shorter workout, I think. I could be wrong. I'm wrong about alot of stuff. But at the end I was just like, "Did that really just happen?" WHY OH WHY do I do this to myself. Oh, right. Because I'm an idiot. I didn't throw up (almost did) so I consider that a success in a way. Now listen to me-if you haven't done Insanity and something else like P90X, you do NOT need to even THINK about doing Asylum. You will get your arse handed to you in the first workout-well really in the fit test alone. And don't be an idiot and do doubles while on the Asylum schedule. There is a reason it's only a 30 day program. You can't do a schedule like this for any longer than that. And if you do, you might as well say good bye to your knees. It WILL catch up with you. TAKE THE REST DAY. Tomorrow is my rest day (WOOOHOOO!!!) and I am doing just that, beingaslazyaspossible RESTING. All in all, I still love this program. This is BEYOND pushing passed physical limitations for me, which I think I needed. Discomfort and all that comes with that is something that should be embraced-because that's where change comes into play! Physically and mentally. Embrace the discomfort!
